copyright? or wrong

I really enjoyed the talk Carlos gave last week, and while it sort of make sense, its also sort of (ok, really) complicated. Rather than thinking about the big picture after the talk and the articles, I tend to focus on specific instances and wonder how can/should they get away with that?

After watching the video Jessica posted about the "Amen Break, " I have even more questions about who can get away with what. So, the music industry.... Ice Ice Baby vs Under Pressure?

More recently, Lady Gaga's new song vs Express Yourself?


And also this article-- discussing both Lady Gada and Rihanna's "inspiration."



So for the entertainment industry it seems like copyright becomes a bigger deal (because more potential profits are at stake?)  I am also curious how Disney operates its "vault." And while it seems like they have a tight grip on everything they have ever produced.. where did this guy get a hold of that footage? (which Im happy he did, its a lovely cover and very cool video).
